Saul Flores (pronounced sah-ool)

Saul Flores (pronounced sah-ool) has built a career turning personal history into public witness. As a young man, he set out on foot from Ecuador to the United States, a 5,328-mile journey that revealed both the peril and the perseverance of migrants. The walk, which helped fund the rebuilding of a school in his mother’s hometown of Atencingo, Mexico, marked the beginning of a body of work that combines storytelling, activism, and community action. In Puebla, he later founded MAMA Sugar, a venture created to support sugarcane workers while investing in the communities that sustain them.

What sets Flores apart is his ability to transform private experience into collective meaning. On stage, he blends journalism with lived memory, giving audiences a view of migration, labor, and resilience that is both intimate and wide in scope. To hear him speak is to be reminded that the struggles of immigrants and workers are not abstractions but urgent human stories - stories that call for attention, empathy, and action.
